Fascinating, lesser-known facts about the Titanic and details on the ship, the passengers, and the sinking. The book also explores aspects of the wreck today and salvage operations.

Although the main events of the Titanic disaster are well known, significant facts and tidbits remain obscure. Who were the thousands of men who built the giant ship? How were the bodies of the victims collected and buried? What were the conclusions of the investigative hearings into her sinking? Answers to these and hundreds of other questions are presented in this useful, easy-to-read volume.

Lee W. Merideth is the author of several Civil War reference books and a longtime Titanic buff. He lives in northern California.

Rosemary Altea

Lessons, Insights and Healing from 'the Voice of the Spirit World'

Rosemary Altea, the internationally renowned medium and healer known to millions worldwide as "The Voice of the Spirit World," offered proof of life after death in The Eagle and the Rose.

Proud Spirit (TM) takes readers further along the path, exploring opportunities for spiritual growth in everyday life. Rosemary's storytelling skills inspire us as she recounts the time Christ laid his hands atop her own as she gave healing. Her spine-tingling tales of being visited by a group of spirit-world children and invited to a midnight picnic in a haunted house add awe, mystery, and magic to her work. Profound spiritual truths emerge: the need to know, value, and be gentle with ourselves, to be proud spirits who always quest for self-worth and that which lies within.

Andrew Ridgeley

This is a very insightful look at how the evolution of Wham came about and Andrew's support of George throughout their lives.  Recommended read!

For the first time, Andrew Ridgeley--one half of one of the most famous bands in the world--tells the inside story of Wham!, his lifelong friendship with George Michael, and the formation of a band that changed the shape of the music scene in the early eighties. 
 
In 1975 Andrew took a shy new boy at school under his wing. They instantly hit it off, and their boyhood escapades at Bushy Meads School built a bond that was never broken. The duo found themselves riding an astonishing roller coaster of success, taking them all over the world. They made and broke iconic records, they were treated like gods, but they stayed true to their friendship and ultimately to themselves. It was a party that seemed as if it would never end. And then it did, in front of tens of thousands of tearful fans at Wembley Stadium in 1986.
 
Andrew's memoir covers in wonderful detail those years, up until that last iconic concert: the scrapes, the laughs, the relationships, the good, and the bad. It's a unique and one-and-only time to remember that era, that band, and those boys.

Sally Field

Very in depth look at her life. Your questions answered is found in this book.

In this intimate, haunting literary memoir and New York Times Notable Book of the year, an American icon tells her own story for the first time -- about a challenging and lonely childhood, the craft that helped her find her voice, and a powerful emotional legacy that shaped her journey as a daughter and a mother.


One of the most celebrated, beloved, and enduring actors of our time, Sally Field has an infectious charm that has captivated the nation for more than five decades, beginning with her first TV role at the age of seventeen. From Gidget's sweet-faced "girl next door" to the dazzling complexity of Sybil to the Academy Award-worthy ferocity and depth of Norma Rae and Mary Todd Lincoln, Field has stunned audiences time and time again with her artistic range and emotional acuity. Yet there is one character who always remained hidden: the shy and anxious little girl within.
With raw honesty and the fresh, pitch-perfect prose of a natural-born writer, and with all the humility and authenticity her fans have come to expect, Field brings readers behind-the-scenes for not only the highs and lows of her star-studded early career in Hollywood, but deep into the truth of her lifelong relationships--including her complicated love for her own mother. Powerful and unforgettable, In Pieces is an inspiring and important account of life as a woman in the second half of the twentieth century.

Jennifer Grey

Excellent read. Wonderful insight on her life doing Dirty Dancing.

A deeply candid and refreshingly spirited memoir of identity lost and found from the star of the iconic film Dirty Dancing

"Jennifer Grey peels back all the artifice, denial, obfuscation, and myriad assumptions and exposes a gorgeous, human portrait of her life."--Jamie Lee Curtis
 
"We all know Jennifer Grey as a talented actress, but Out of the Corner introduces us to a gifted writer."--Michael J. Fox

In this beautiful, close-to-the bone account, Jennifer Grey takes readers on a vivid tour of the experiences that have shaped her, from her childhood as the daughter of Broadway and film legend Joel Grey, to the surprise hit with Patrick Swayze that made her America's sweetheart, to her inspiring season eleven win on ABC's Dancing with the Stars.

Throughout this intimate narrative, Grey richly evokes places and times that were defining for a generation--from her preteen days in 1970s Malibu and wild child nights in New York's club scene, to her roles in quintessential movies of the 1980s, including The Cotton Club, Red Dawn, and her breakout performance in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. With self-deprecating humor and frankness, she looks back on her unbridled, romantic adventures in Hollywood. And with enormous bravery, she shares the devastating fallout from a plastic surgery procedure that caused the sudden and stunning loss of her professional identity and career. Grey inspires with her hard-won battle back, reclaiming her sense of self from a culture and business that can impose a narrow and unforgiving definition of female worth. She finds, at last, her own true north and starts a family of her own, just in the nick of time.

Distinctive, moving, and powerful, told with generosity and pluck, Out of the Corner is a memoir about a never-ending personal evolution, a coming-of-age story for women of every age.

Miranda Kenneally

A young adult romance suitable for teenagers. Well woth the read.  This is a former library book.

Practice makes perfect.

Everyone at Hundred Oaks High knows that career mentoring day is a joke. So when Maya said she wanted to be a rock star, she never imagined she'd get to shadow the Jesse Scott, Nashville's teen idol.

But spending the day with Jesse is far from a dream come true. He's as gorgeous as his music, but seeing all that he's accomplished is just a reminder of everything Maya's lost: her trust, her boyfriend, their band, and any chance to play the music she craves. Not to mention that Jesse's pushy and opinionated. He made it on his own, and he thinks Maya's playing back up to other people's dreams. Does she have what it takes to follow her heart--and go solo?

Praise for Miranda Kenneally's Breathe, Annie, Breathe:

"[An] expertly paced and realistic romance."--Booklist, starred review

"Heartfelt, uplifting, and quite possibly enough motivation to make readers reach for their running shoes." --Publisher's Weekly

"Breathe, Annie, Breathe is an emotional, heartfelt, and beautiful story about finding yourself after loss and learning to love. Her best book yet." --Jennifer L. Armentrout, New York Times bestselling author of Wait for You
